Feca, tftpd on RH7.1 has a 'security feature' turned on that automatically looks in the /tftpboot directory. Therefore, if you have 'filename "/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz.ne2000" in your dhcpd.conf file, it is really going to really try to download "/tftpboot/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz.ne2000".
The quick fix is to modify your /etc/dhcpd.conf file and remove the "/tftpboot" from the filename field. There is a document on the LTSP.org errata page, available here: http://www.LTSP.org/errata.php It explains the problem in more detail.
